Make a mug - pottery workshop for beginners

Waikato Society of Potters

If you have never tried pottery before, this is a great introduction to the craft.

We will teach you an easy-peasy way to make your own mugs. No previous pottery skills are required and this would be a great activity for children and adults alike.

In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to construct a mug using slabs, ensure all the parts are securely attached, and make and attach a handle.

The cost of high quality paperclay, glaze and firing is included in the price for this workshop.

Suitable for ages 7 to adults (children must be accompanied by an adult).

WSP members $45
WSP non-members $50

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.

A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.

You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.

A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.

Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.

The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.

Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
